I am not sure how many folks are just TMCC only? I would think a small group.

I am one of that small group. Since I made the decision back in 2000 or so to be TMCC only, I learned to do the upgrades myself (first with Digital Dynamics stuff, then a little TAS and for a long time now ERR). I've always kept some extra boards on hand in case I bought anything new that needed an upgrade or a board went out. In all that time and with well over 50 conversions, I've had 2 board failures: one Digital Dynamics and one TAS. I've never had an in-service ERR board go bad. I did smoke a couple during installation, but that's my fault not theirs.

Personally I can survive even if ERR disappears forever but I sure hope it sticks around in some form. Lionel's handling of this entire situation, from the 'imminent shutdown' announcement to the management-speak attempt at damage control has soured me on buying any new Lionel trains. That's for sure.
